Hillary Clinton <3 The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

Contrary to what readers of this blog may think, I don't want to waste space here ranting about Hillary Clinton all the time. I spent years defending the Clintons to my conservative friends in the face of all the craziness of the '90s (Vince Foster, blowjobgate, etc)... but when she chooses to embrace that very craziness and become what she used to hate, yes it pisses me off. I just feel more and more than her remaining defenders are like Charlie Brown, always laying flat on their back, reassuring themselves that Lucy means well and next time, next time, they will definitely get to kick that football.

Maybe she can still get the nomination. And maybe she can go on to beat John McCain. But it'll cost the party its soul.
